The preparation of financial statements is the responsibility of the client’s management. Hence, the financial statements contain management’s assertions about the transactions, events and account balances and related disclosures that are required by the applicable accounting standards.
The auditor is required to determine the different types of misstatements that could occur for each of the relevant audit assertions and then develop audit procedures that are appropriate to respond to the assessed risks.

• Direction of testing for each assertion
• Risk assessment at assertion level
o Using the risk factors
o Relevant assertions
o Risk spectrum
